[quote=Anonymous]My kids were born when DH and I were 40 and 43. We'll be in our early 60s when they graduate from high school. We're both in excellent health and fit, so that of course helps a lot. There's no reason we can't retire when we want to because we have enough in savings to set aside a healthy amount for college or grad school and still have a similar monthly income to what we have now. We'll almost certainly be retired long before our kids finish college and/or grad school. What if we had had our kids in our 20s instead of in our 40s? We'd have kids in high school and preparing to go to college when we were both working long hours and much more financially stressed. Of course there's something appealing about having the kids launched into adulthood while you're still in your 40s, but on our timeline it has also worked out very well. [/quote]
